  1. Telling it like it is is quite simple. Woffinden rode superbly and team rode at every available opportunity, more so than every other rider on show in either semi-final. Telling it like it is, Cook is out of form, fluffed his first ride and was on a warning and was quite right replaced by Lambert. Telling it like it is, you're a very bitter individual with an anti-Woffinden agenda making himself look a numpty.
  2. Yes, it was pathetic of him to do nothing, as the senior rider in the partnership, to help his team mate. And yes, it was pathetic of him to blast of and win the race as it meant nothing other than personal glory and guaranteed his team being eliminated. If you don't understand that basic concept, little point discussing with you.
  3. It's called conversation/debate.
  4. Aww diddums. Is that the best Woffy bashing you can come up with tonight?
  5. His team didn't win the race, they lost it, as his TEAM came last and he did nothing to help his TEAM.
  6. Sorry, but again, that is pathetic from Milik. Ridiculous of Tatum to say he fully deserved the round of applause. At least try and slow the Aussies up a bit.
  7. I think the French had a better chance, can't see Franc being quick enough to stay ahead even if he got there.. especially as he's likely to receive zero help from Milik.. whereas both the French had some speed. Hopefully I'm wrong.
  8. Lucky for the Czechs there. Milik not a clue, did nothing to help his partner at all.
  9. And perhaps the lesser teams got more dialled in.
  10. Very sensible interview from Woffinden.. and pretty much shows he was right to what he did all along. GB has a bright future.
  11. Poor 1st half but 2nd half of the meeting has been fantastic... and the lesser nations have been very much part of it. Great riding from Woffinden and Lambert there. Lambert did superbly to keep Lindgren back for as long as he did.
  12. Business is picking up... one of the 'lesser' nations right in the mix.
  13. The SWC improved in the qualifiers after some tweaking. If you remember back to when there were three qualifying rounds they were pretty much non events in the main.
  14. It doesn't really qualify for either. Watt was never a threat in the race. For the brief time he was, Laguta shut the door, Gollob had no involvement.
  15. What?? Firstly Watt is dropping further and further behind with each passing lap. Secondly Gollob is off in front.. It's Laguta who is the one who blocked Watt off on lap one. There must be better examples?
  16. Can't help but look clever when arguing against you, especially when you trot out that line of argument insulting yourself.. have a think it might dawn on you. I'm not getting upset, just pointing out how out of touch you are. You might think it's somehow 'clever' to call people 'anoraks'. It isn't. It simply speaks volumes about the kind of person you are. Trying to hide behind 'other' people think that re-affirms that. If you can't grasp that a father of a rider calling fans of the sport he participates in 'names' doesn't really help in any quest for sponsorship then.... You're quite right, the sport of speedway hasn't moved on, on that we very much do agree.
  17. You really haven't seen much team riding if you think that was anywhere close to being 'the best' team riding.
  18. Not sure that makes any difference when it's done right? Again, great team riding isn't two riders riding flat out side by side, like Ermolenko/Correy, Hancock/Hamill etc.. it's about the better rider slowing the race down. Agree it is a dying art. Perhaps the bikes themselves make it more difficult these days?
  19. I've got one thanks. No, your second use didn't apply to you as you stated "If i was an anorak".. suggesting that you aren't and that there is something wrong with being an 'anorak'. Times have long moved on and being an 'anorak' or a 'geek' is no longer seen as being uncool in the mainstream. Speedway needs to be embracing the statistical side of it, not mocking those who do.
  20. Good post. Not only that, they would control the race from the first turn. Time and again Ermolenko would tell a rider such as Wayne Carter exactly where to go in the first two turns, he would handle the rest. Usually moving a rider wide so Carter could come underneath. Woffinden has shown he can team ride on many occasions in the past and as you say, hopefully he will have chance to demonstrate that ability again tonight and perhaps more importantly at the weekend.
  21. No it isn't 'bollox'. What is 'bollox' is your incessant, non stop rambling, year after year. TV commentators in the events you keep referring too, i.e. big events, ALL have people there to correct them if they are wrong. They are fed much of the information by resident statisticians. In days gone by when they were not, many more mistakes were made.
